software development companys like windows, apple … graphpad, SPSS… produce usable, mostly good software
but:
- products are getting increasingly expansive and update/support dependent
- the users loose their independence and individuality
- users can only to a certain degree personalize, optimize, adapt the applications for their needs
- most of those products can lead to results, but they are not really efficent nor powerful nor leading edge
- product placement strategies of those companys are unmatched –> users are more and more degraded to dependent consumers, than rather beeing their own developers
